and Jasmine Dark Tea. Ideal for gifting or indulging, this set combines rich heritage, delicate flavors, and the artistry of a UNESCO-recognized tradition. Not suited for those who prefer plain teas or are sensitive to floral fragrances.

Chinese Scented Tea Craftsmanship

"Scenting" is a traditional process where tea leaves are layered with fresh flowers, allowing the tea to absorb the floral aroma before the flowers are removed. This process is repeated multiple times to create the rich fragrance of high-quality scented teas. The best scented teas have no visible petals but retain the pure floral essence. By meticulously layering flowers and tea, ensuring proper aeration, and maintaining strict control over the scenting time and roasting process, the tea reaches peak flavor and aroma.

Depending on the number of scenting cycles—3, 6, or even 9 times—the tea's quality and complexity increase, with some processes taking up to a month. This craftsmanship, involving over 60 days and 200 steps, was recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2022 for Jasmine Green Tea. While jasmine green tea is the original scented tea, modern innovation has expanded the range to include many beloved varieties.

Pearl Orchid, also known as Zhenzhulan or Cha Lan, gets its name from the way its tiny golden blossoms cluster along the stem like strands of pearls. In She County of Anhui, the flower was originally grown for ornamental purposes, but over time it became treasured for scenting tea. The region’s warm, humid climate and fertile soil provide ideal conditions for cultivating Pearl Orchid. Large-scale production of Pearl Orchid–scented tea began during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, and by around 1890, it had already become one of China’s major scented tea varieties, especially loved in northern China and among scholars and literati.

There is an old Chinese saying about seasonal tea drinking: “In winter drink black tea, in summer drink green tea, and in the second and eighth lunar months, drink Pearl Orchid tea.” These months mark the shift between warmer and cooler seasons, when humidity is higher. Pearl Orchid tea was believed to help dispel dampness and support the body during seasonal transitions.

This tea comes from She County in Anhui, using spring-picked Huangshan Maofeng green tea as the base. The addition of Pearl Orchid blossoms gives the tea a cleaner, brighter character. The liquor is smooth and sweet, without the bitterness sometimes found in green tea.

Its aroma is elegant and serene, with a soft, cooling sweetness—reminiscent of orchids blooming in a quiet valley. Compared with the lively, expressive fragrance of jasmine tea, Pearl Orchid tea is more subtle and deep, yet wonderfully long-lasting.

Daidai flower comes from a small evergreen citrus tree and carries an aroma similar to lemon peel and orange blossom. It’s traditionally used both as food and herbal medicine, and is often made into essential oils, scented teas, herbal remedies, or even cooked in porridge. Jinhua in Zhejiang is one of the main producing regions. In traditional Chinese medicine, Daidai flower is known for supporting digestion, easing constipation, and relieving stress.

This Daidai Flower Tea is produced in Jinhua, Zhejiang. It uses early spring tea buds—ranging from single buds to one-bud-one-leaf—as the base, scented with freshly harvested Daidai flowers. The flowers add a gentle sweetness to the green tea, softening its bitterness and creating a more rounded, balanced cup. The liquor tastes fresh and lively, with a clear sweet finish and layered notes of citrus, florals, and green tea aroma. The fragrance is rich and long-lasting.

This tea is effective for aiding digestion and relieving constipation. Those with weak or cold stomachs should drink it with caution. One cup per day (about 400 mL) is recommended, as excessive consumption may cause diarrhea.

Gardenia, also known as huang zhizi or mountain gardenia, is an evergreen shrub and one of China’s traditional fragrant flowers. It has long been used in the art of scenting tea.
This Gardenia Black Tea is made by scenting freshly picked gardenia blossoms with spring-harvested Yunnan black tea, using a three-round traditional scenting process.

When June gardenias meet black tea, the flower’s bold, heady fragrance softens into a gentle, elegant aroma. The warmth and richness of the black tea lift the gardenia’s cool, refreshing scent, creating a perfectly balanced harmony.
The first sip brings a clear and delicate gardenia aroma—like walking into a garden in full bloom, instantly awakening the senses. The liquor is smooth and full-bodied, with the gardenia’s natural sweetness melding beautifully with the tea’s mellow depth. A lingering, sweet finish remains long after each sip.

This tea is not only an expression of traditional scenting craftsmanship, but also a soothing gift from nature. In traditional Chinese medicine, gardenia is believed to help clear heat and relieve symptoms such as dry mouth, sore throat, and irritability.
The cooling character of the flower combines with the comforting warmth of black tea, creating a brew that is both rich and refreshing. It’s enjoyable in all seasons, and especially uplifting in summer when you want something cooling, cleansing, and effortlessly calming.

This rose black tea brings together two signature ingredients from Yunnan, China: fragrant Yunnan roses and smooth Dianhong black tea.

Yunnan roses are known for their rich, naturally sweet floral aroma. Grown in sunny mountain environments with fresh air, they develop a deeper and more vibrant fragrance.

The tea base is Dianhong black tea, famous for its smooth body and gentle sweetness, often with notes of honey and malt.

Using a traditional Chinese scenting process, fresh rose petals are layered with the tea, allowing the floral aroma to slowly infuse into the tea. This process is repeated three times to create a balanced cup that is soft, floral, and naturally smooth.

This Osmanthus Black Tea was freshly scented this autumn, using autumn-harvested black tea paired with autumn-blooming Bao Xin osmanthus. Through careful scenting, it carries a rich osmanthus aroma with a gentle sweetness.
Bao Xin osmanthus is often called the “royalty of osmanthus” for its exceptional quality, has layered petals and a full, rounded center. Compared with regular osmanthus, its blossoms are larger, thicker, and more fragrant. A single round of scenting is enough to infuse the tea with a strong aroma, and dried flowers are often kept in the final product to enhance the flavor.
The tea tastes warm and smooth, almost silky, with a sweet, full-bodied profile. The richness of the black tea and the clean sweetness of osmanthus complement each other, leaving a long-lasting aroma and a clear, pleasant aftertaste. It’s an excellent choice for autumn and winter, offering comforting warmth to both body and stomach.

This Osmanthus Oolong Tea offers a smooth and aromatic tasting experience, opening with the rich, mellow depth of Tieguanyin oolong, followed by an elegant osmanthus floral fragrance that gently lingers on the palate.

Sourced from Anxi, Fujian — the birthplace of Tieguanyin oolong — this tea uses carefully selected Tieguanyin leaves as its base. Fresh osmanthus blossoms are then infused through a traditional three-round scenting process during the final drying stage. With each round, the tea slowly absorbs the natural floral aroma, allowing the fragrance to penetrate deeply while preserving the integrity and character of the oolong base. The result is a beautifully balanced cup where delicate floral sweetness meets the smooth, lightly roasted profile of Tieguanyin.

This tea is ideal for those who appreciate refined floral teas and layered flavor complexity. It is especially suited for tea drinkers seeking a unique oolong experience with a naturally infused floral elegance.

Pinghe County in Fujian is not only the core growing region for Bai Ya Qi Lan but also famous for its Guanxi honey pomelos. Every April, the mountains are filled with blooming pomelo flowers. Tea makers pick the buds just before they open and scent them with Bai Ya Qi Lan, creating the region’s unique Pomelo Blossom Bai Ya Qi Lan. Since the pomelo blossom season lasts only about 20 days, production is very limited.

This Pomelo Blossom Oolong comes from that origin. Its aroma blends the orchid-like fragrance of Bai Ya Qi Lan with the delicate sweetness of pomelo flowers. The tea is fresh, smooth, and naturally sweet, offering both the richness of Oolong and the light, cooling sweetness of citrus blossoms. You’ll notice the gentle sweetness of pomelo flowers at the first sip, followed by the unfolding depth of Oolong. The texture is silky, the aftertaste lingers, and the finish carries a refreshing hint of pomelo blossom.
